I am not sure what Balenciaga is doing, I mean, what they are doing with the classics. First they made a major shift from Chevre Leather to the Agnea Leather (from goatskin to lambskin). Then, in each season the leather thickness varies.

And now that Alexander Wang is in charge, these classic accessories have been crafted with different materials. Remember the Balenciaga Nylon Bag Collection from last week?

Yes, your eyes were not lying, you saw the Balenciaga Classic City Bag in Nylon. Maybe, just maybe it’s a good thing too. At least you can now carry your City Bag in the rain, as Nylon is rain resistance anyway (In hope for this version).

Now, let me shock you once more, the Balenciaga Classic Bags in Suede (are your eye brows lifting yet?) as never seen before. Meet the new Giant 12 Mini City Bag, the Classic Mini City Bag, in Papier A4 Tote, in Classic Part-time Tote, all in suede. It’s a brand-new experience, a complete new feel.

Now, let’s do a quick comparison. How much for the Classic City Bag in Leather and how much in suede?

Handbag designer brand Loewe hasn’t been on my radar lately. However when I saw the Loewe V Bag on the runway, it grabbed my attention! It was love at first sight, completely reviving my interest in this designer. Now that I have seen the Loewe V Suede Bag though, I don’t think there is any going back!

What caught my eye at first glance, was the color. Who doesn’t love the vibrant turquoise blue color? It doesn’t end there. There is more to this bag than its blue hue. I love the clean lines and simple rounded shape. The black leather trim looks sharp too and is a nice contrast. The bright yellow leather chain geometric “V” strap is the most interesting feature and where the bag gets it’s name.

This is going to sound weird too, but the blue and yellow combination (plus the thick black lines) give this bag sort of a comic book-like feel. I mean old school comics here. Not the stuff you see today. It certainly is an interesting take on this piece even though I am pretty sure it wasn’t the designer’s intention to create something inspired by a comic book. And if it was, that tidbit of information wasn’t shared on Loewe’s official website either.

There is a lot going on with this bag, however it all seems to play out harmoniously. The classic house-favorite Chloe Mini Hudson Bag is dressed in durable suede leather and accented with pebble studs and golden hardware. The flap top closure is decorated with rows of braided detailing, and finished off with a playful long ponytail -esque tassel. The whole look of the bag has a vintage equestrian 70′s vibe that I’m totally falling for. No matter the season this bag is the perfect everyday accessory.

The Chloe Mini Hudson Suede Bag available here at NEIMAN MARCUS, where it retails for $1,890. Craving more fringe? Check out the Chloe Hudson with Tassel Detailing.

It was unexpected and we couldn’t belief it. But its one hundred percent true. Those that are yearning for the Diorissimo Bag other than in calf leather, well… your dream just came true.

There is a small difference between handbags in suede and calf leather, we’re talking about how they’re made. If you look closely to the Diorissimo Suede Bag, you will spot the details like the stitches on the edges around the bag.

Other than that, everything stays the same, including the prices.

But what’s also intriguing is that the DIOR charm on this bag is also covered in suede, can you see that?

For those that are interested, the size is medium and is measured 32 x 23 x 11 cm, the price is the same as the leather edition: €3400 euro via Dior boutique.
